Are you upgrading your computer’s hard drive becuase it failed or because you want to increase capacity?
Before you go looking for a SATA hard drive, look at a great new option that is becoming common place in newer computers – Solid-State Drives aka SSD Drives.
Solid State Drives are more durable than the mechanical SATA hard drives as there are no moving mechanical parts. Hence it is usually more suited to handle rougher conditions and last longer than the traditional hard drives.
Plus, you also get performance gains and power reductions with the SSD drives. Let’s look at a few common advantages with SSD drives.
image
SSD Drive Advantages
* Faster start-up with no spin-up time
* Fast random access as there is no read/write head
* Consistent read performance
* No degradation in performance due to file fragmentation
* Silent operation with no moving parts
* Ability to endure extreme schock, high altitude, vibration and extremes of temperature
SSD drives have been too costly until recently to be widespread. But, the costs have been coming down and Flash SSDs are now commonplace in smart phones.
Desktops and notebooks are also getting SSD drives in the more recent models. You might remember Apple offered MacBook Air with 64GB SSD option.
So, if you are looking into buying a new computer, you may want to look at one with SSD as an option along with the soon to be popular USB 3.0 support that promises excellent data transfer speeds.
SSD Drive Choices
Here are a few SSD drives that you might consider for either refitting your SATA drives with SSD drives or when you purchase a new computer with space to expand.
* Kingston SSDNow V Series 128 GB SATA 3GB/s 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive with Notebook Upgrade Kit Bundle
* Intel 160 GB X25M Mainstream SATA II Solid State Drive (SSD)
* Kingston SSDNow V Series 128 GB SATA 3 GB/s 2.5- Inch Solid State Drive with Desktop Upgrade Kit Bundle
* Intel X25-M Mainstream 160GB SATA 2.5-Inch MLC Solid State Drive
As with any new technology, SSD drives are a little bit pricier than the traditional SATA drives but the performance benefits are winning over more adopters.

Where are the flyers, posters, newspaper ads, business cards, buttons, etc. for the "TECH FAIR"? We are only a few days away, and the only thing I've seen is the call board at the plant shop on Sequim Ave., and a little box in a special section of the Gazoot. I pray that the fair goes well for several reasons, but I am filled with trepidation.

Whitson Gordon — Secure Erase Methods Probably Won't Work on Your Solid-State DriveWe've shown you how to properly erase your physical media before, but a recent study showed that most 'secure erase' methods don't actually work very well on solid-state drives (SSDs). Here's what you need to know.
Researchers at UC San Diego found that the normal methods we use to securely wipe magnetic drives aren't as useful on solid-state drives. After testing twelve SSDs, they found that only four were securely erased with whole-drive erasure methods. Trying to securely wipe a single file was even less successful, and more often than not a good portion of the file was recoverable. [Thanks to JB for this info. ]

WIN 7 SP 1
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/downloads/service-packs
Info.
Installed SP1 the other day (64 bit). No problems, whatsoever. -tp
Service Pack 1's most significant improvements
Uh, there really aren't any. At least not for the average PC user. (SP1 does have a few nifty new features for Windows Server 2008 R2.) No need to take my word for it. Download Microsoft's official description, "Notable changes in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1," available on a Microsoft Download Center page, and see for yourself. "The impact of SP1 on the Windows 7 client operating system is considered to be minimal. Included changes address minor usability issues in specific scenarios," according to the unusually sedate Microsoft manifesto.
To save you a bit of time and effort, here's a summary:

Service Pack 1's most significant improvements

Download Microsoft's official description, "Notable changes in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1," available on a Microsoft Download Center page, and see for yourself. "The impact of SP1 on the Windows 7 client operating system is considered to be minimal. Included changes address minor usability issues in specific scenarios," according to the unusually sedate Microsoft manifesto.
To save you a bit of time and effort, here's a summary:
- Higher-definition connections with Remote Desktop: If you use Remote Desktop (I prefer the third-party service LogMeIn), installing SP1 on both PCs sets up high-definition connection via a new technology Microsoft calls RemoteFX. Snappy name. Based on virtualization technology (info page) Microsoft acquired two years ago when it bought Calista Technologies, RemoteFX makes it possible for full graphics to show through on remote sessions. Someday, we're promised, you'll be able to use RemoteFX with your phone. I'm not holding my breath — I'm not even sure I'd want it.
- More Windows Live ID support: A technology Microsoft calls "Microsoft Federation Gateway" will give SP1-enhanced PCs improved Windows Live ID authentication to non-Microsoft sites, using a long-established Web services protocol known as the WS-Federation Passive Requestor Profile. I thought Win7 already had WS-Federation profiles (detailed in an MSDN article) nailed, but apparently some fix is necessary.
- An HDMI patch: I have no idea why MS emphasizes this as one of the noteworthy changes in Win7 SP1. It's a bug fix to keep HDMI working when a PC is rebooted.
- An XML Paper Specification fix: The 10 of you who actually use XPS instead of PDF will be pleased that SP1 fixes a print bug affecting mixed portrait and landscape documents.
- Even more-obscure fixes: These include restoring previous folders at sign-in, IKEv2 protocol improvements (used in VPN connections), and a hotfix rollup from November (KB 982018) for Advanced Format disks. Little stuff.

WORD tips
Be selective with how you select
You already know that double-clicking selects a single word, and you probably figured out that triple-clicking selects an entire paragraph. But if you just want to select a single sentence, hold down Ctrl and click on any word. To select an entire table, hold down Alt and double-click.
Add a comment
When a friend or family member sends you a document to proofread, don't waste your time writing a lengthy email detailing all the horrendous mistakes you found; mark up their Word file instead. Highlight a portion of text, click the Review tab in the Ribbon bar, and select New Comment.
Use the built-in thesaurus
You don't need to hop online to use a thesaurus, the folks in Redmond had the good sense to bundle one in Word. To use it, highlight an entry and press Shift+F7. Pretty simple, right? Or maybe we should say it's trouble-free, straightforward, effortless, uncomplicated, or

Michael Moore | High School Newspaper
Michael Moore | High School Newspaper http://mikeshighschoolnews.com/ Yea! I think this is a SMART move on Moore's part...like HIM or not. Lots and lots of people don't like Michael Moore, so anything he does or says is poo-poohed. Take a minute and reflect on what this new site can do and what it offers the highschool student, journalist, teacher, advisor, etc. A lot can be learned with something as big as this.
Excerpts from site:
It's not that way in other countries. The voting age in places like Austria, Brazil or Nicaragua is 16. In France, students can shut down the country by simply walking out of school and taking to the streets.
But here in the U.S. you're told to obey and to basically butt out and let the adults run the show.
Let's change that!
I'm starting this site, "HIGH SCHOOL NEWSPAPER." Here you will be able to write what you want and I will publish it. I will also post those articles that you've tried to get published at your school but were turned down. On this site you will have freedom and an open forum and a chance to have your voice heard by millions.
I've asked my 17-year-old niece, Molly, to kick things off by editing this page for the first six months. She will ask you to send her your stories and ideas and the best ones will be posted on MichaelMoore.com. I'll give you the platform you deserve. It will be my honor to have you on my site and I encourage you to take advantage of it.
You are often called "our future." That future is today, right here, right now. You've already proven you can change the world. Keep doing it. And I'd be honored to help you.
P.S. When can you get started? Right now! Just go here and register. (You can use a made-up name if you want and you don’t have to name your school.) Then once you’re done, start submitting blogs, music, videomore! and
P.P.S. If you’re reading this and not in high school, please take a second and forward it to all the students you know.

Download Whiteboard for Mac 1.1.1 Easy-to-use collaborative drawing a... - Softepic
Download Whiteboard for Mac 1.1.1 Easy-to-use collaborative drawing a... - Softepic: "Collaborate with friends and family with Whiteboard, the easy-to-use collaborative drawing app for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, and Mac. Two users can create pictures together over local Wi-Fi peer-to-peer. To use wireless collaboration, at least one user should be using Whiteboard for iOS, available on the iOS App Store:
- Whiteboard Lite: Collaborative Drawing (Free)
- Whiteboard Pro: Collaborative Drawing
- Whiteboard VGA Out
Connect without an access point. You can create and use a Computer-to-Computer Wi-Fi network.
Create unique collaborative art.
• When one person's artistic skills aren't quite enough, combine your painting abilities with Whiteboard!
• Easy-to-use interface similar to paint and graffiti.
• Two devices can simultaneously draw on the same canvas in real-time.
• Bonjour wireless networking over Wi-Fi.
• Adjustable marker width.
• 'Brush' preview to see what you're getting before you start sketching.
• Compatible with Mac OS X. Connect with the iOS version of Whiteboard running on any iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad.
Try many potential uses.
• The peer-to-peer networking feature enables a certain class of multiplayer games, like Connect 4, Tic-Tac-Toe, Dots, and more.
• It's also useful for quickly visualizing ideas: I used it myself this way, putting into visible form an icon layout I had in mind. It's almost like using a graphics tablet!
• The possibilities are endless; it's like having a whiteboard wherever you go.
TIPS:
• You can adjust your line width with the slider in the color selection window.
• To use the networking feature, you must be connected to the same local Wi-Fi network as an iOS device running Whiteboard. Ensure that the device is connected to the same wifi access point so that you can connect!

Scam Alert: Avoid Jury Notices Rigged to Steal Your ID, Personal Information - AARP Bulletin
Scam Alert: Avoid Jury Notices Rigged to Steal Your ID, Personal Information - AARP Bulletin: "The phone rings. 'I'm calling from the local courthouse,' the voice at the other end tells you — you're about to be arrested because you didn't show up for jury duty.
Related
* Don’t Fall for Fake Jury Summons. Read
* Fake FDIC Debt Collectors are the Latest Phone Scammers. Read
* Safeguard Your Personal Information. Listen
* More scams and fraud. Go
Relax. These calls are part of a resurgence of the 'jury duty scam,' first revealed by Scam Alert in May 2006. The following month, the FBI issued a warning about this ruse, which at that time hit people in at least 11 states. In recent weeks, there have been scattered reports that this ploy has resurfaced in some parts of the country.
The warning of your imminent arrest is intended to scare you into making the usual response: I never received a jury duty summons. Then, claiming to want to clear up the matter, the caller asks you to verify your identity — by providing your Social Security number, birth date and possibly bank or credit card account numbers. Revealing such details can help the caller steal your identity and get credit cards, loans and medical services in your name and at your expense.
As in other telephone scams, the jury duty ruse can appear authentic because your caller ID screen may indicate that the call is coming from a local courthouse. That's because the caller is using 'spoofing' products — widely sold on the Internet — that allow the display of any phone number and name on your caller ID.
jury duty
— Jeff Cadge/Getty Images
But the universal verdict from officials is this: Hang up without providing any personal information. You can be sure these calls are phony. Here's why:
Authentic 'no-show' summonses for missed jury duty are nearly always delivered by mail. In rare instances when actual court officials may telephone you, they won't ask for personal information.
Legitimate officials don't give a heads-up warning about an impending arrest.
Real court officials would call during office hours, not in the evening when many of these calls occur. Scammers, gleaning names and addresses from phone books or public records, often call after hours when people are more likely to be home.
If you receive a call about missing jury duty, you can authenticate it by looking up the courthouse number yourself. Call and ask for the jury duty coordinator or court clerk's office. Report scam calls to your courthouse and the state attorney general's office.

How to Boot a Live Linux Image Without Burning it to a CD
How to Boot a Live Linux Image Without Burning it to a CD: "How to Boot a Live Linux Image Without Burning it to a CD
Whitson Gordon — How to Boot a Live Linux Image Without Burning it to a CDIf you want to boot into a live Linux environment but don't have a blank CD or thumb drive handy, you can actually boot right from your hard drive using GRUB and previously mentioned Unetbootin.
We usually use Unetbootin to create a bootable thumb drive from a Linux ISO, but it turns out you don't even need a thumb drive if you want to boot the live CD on the same computer that has Unetbootin installed. To do so, just start up Unetbootin and navigate to your disk image as normal, but instead of USB drive, just choose 'Hard Disk' from the 'Type' dropdown as shown above. Leave / for the Drive entry. Hit OK and when it's done, reboot your computer. GRUB should show a new 'Unetbootin' entry that will boot you into your live environment—no blank CD or thumb drive required.
Full size
The next time you boot up Unetbootin it will ask you 'remove the existing version of Unetbootin'. This won't uninstall the program; it'll just remove its GRUB entry, so hit OK (unless you want to keep it there).

MacRumors reported that Apple might be making the move to all digital software sooner than anticipated.
Citing unnamed sources, MacRumors said Apple is planning its move to complete digital distribution, starting by training new Mac users how to use the Mac App Store when they purchase their new Macs. The online store is already available to Snow Leopard users, and is expected to be a integral part of the company's next operating system, Lion.
A couple whispers and a some new user orientation are not a whole lot to go on, but Apple certainly is favoring digital distribution as of late, and it's no surprise to hear that it might be thinking of chucking boxed software altogether. The convenience of downloadable software, not to mention the in-store space it frees up for other products, is hard to ignore.

Content Marketing: 10 Thought Leaders Share Thoughts on Curating Content - Online Marketing Blog
Content Marketing: 10 Thought Leaders Share Thoughts on Curating Content - Online Marketing Blog: "Content curation, which can be defined as a highly proactive and selective approach to finding, collecting, presenting and displaying digital content around predefined sets of criteria and subject matter, has become essential to marketing, branding, journalism, reporting and social media – often, to mash-ups of all these different and disparate channels.
Content curation can takes many forms: feeds, “channels” (such as on YouTube), it can appear on blogs, or even be the links you upload to social media sites such as Facebook. It can be an online newsroom, a collection of links, an assortment of RSS feeds, or a Twitter list. Whatever form content curation does take, it’s around a topic, or a subject, or even a sensibility that speaks to the knowledge, expertise, taste, refinement, brand message or persona of the person, brand or company that has created the particular channel or source of content.

Content curation can takes many forms: feeds, “channels” (such as on YouTube), it can appear on blogs, or even be the links you upload to social media sites such as Facebook.

Connectify 2.1.0 Review - BSTdownload.com 
If you need a simple program to turn your laptop or computer into a Hot Spot where anyone with a Wi-Fi connection can connect to, then you will find Connectify to be quite useful. Unfortunately, it can be useful only to computers with Windows 7, since the operating system compatibility is limited.
The program is very easy to set up. There is a step by step wizard for configuring the necessary settings, but most of the program runs automatically. You can set the name, password and the device which you want to use. After you've set up Connectify once, you don't need to revisit it later, unless you want to see what clients have connected to your Wi-Fi Hot Spot.

Humans TXT: We Are People, Not Machines.: "What is humans.txt?
It's an initiative for knowing the people behind a website.
It's a TXT file that contains information about the different people who have contributed to building the website.
Why a TXT?
Because it's something simple and fast to create.
Because it's not intrusive with the code. More often than not, the owners of the site don't like the authors signing it; they claim that doing so may make the site less efficient. By adding a txt file, you can prove your authorship (not your property) in an external, fast, easy and accessible way.
